The British Society of Gerontology provides a multidisciplinary forum for researchers and other individuals interested in the situations of older people, and in how knowledge about ageing and later life can be enhanced and improved.
The Society holds an annual conference organised and hosted by members from different Centres and Institutions around the United Kingdom. The annual conference attracts international delegates as well as domestic participants and is a prime opportunity to meet and network with like-minded colleagues.
The Society publishes a regular journal – Generations Review; was instrumental in the establishment of Ageing and Society – one of the premier peer-reviewed journals in the field; and is responsible for a range of other publications including a Directory of Members’ interests.

WHO works with Member States, UN agencies, and diverse stakeholders from various sectors to foster healthy ageing in every country.

- change how we think, feel and act towards age and ageing;
- ensure that communities foster the abilities of older people;
- deliver person-centred integrated care and primary health services responsive to older people; and
